Art Exhibit: Tom Hitchins - Driftwood and Found Objects - Opening Reception
Tom Hitchins: Driftwood and Found Objects - Opening Reception
The Exhibit
Based in Steuben, Maine, Tom Hitchins is a artist whose work is shaped by an established career in architecture across New Jersey and Maine. He applies a structural eye for geometry, line, and spatial design to his artistic practice, creating works that serve as a source of both joy and reflection.
With a focus on sustainability, Tom transforms found objects and discarded materials into new works that capture the spirit of Maine’s coastline, specifically focusing on Downeast boats, schooners, and airships. His style is characterized by a balance of technical precision and a distinctive touch of humor, charm and sharp wit.
From the Artist: “My creations are made largely from my finds on nearby beaches in Downeast Maine. I both hike and kayak to remote locations to find the bits and pieces that I assemble into a variety of objects and art.”
Medium: Furniture and art using driftwood, buoys and other found objects.

Meetinghouse Theatre Lab - Out of the Hat!
October through April, 2025 - 2026
Out of the Hat! - Readers’ Theatre Series
What’s "Out of the Hat!?” It’s a fresh, compact production with a rehearsal time of one day and performed that same night. The play, the director, the cast are all picked "out of the hat" so to speak -- this makes it fresh and exciting.
It goes like so ... we gather at 11:00am to read the chosen play -- many of us for the first time. After a first read, the director for the play retires to cast the show. Once done, the group works to put the play on its feet with the result being an outstanding and very fresh performance at 6pm.
Come to read and play at 11:00am or come to watch it that evening. Admission is free, although donations are gratefully accepted.
Interested in reading? We would love to have you! To read, you will need yourself, writing utensils, dark clothes, a potluck, energy and a penchant for fun.
Please message Meetinghouse Theatre Lab on Facebook or e-mail Cathy at cathyjohnson2012@hotmail.com if you would like to be a part of the day's production.

Flexible Tuition: Together, we can create a community where creativity thrives and no one is left out.
Schoodic Arts for All’s mission is to enrich our community by providing welcoming, accessible art programs that engage, educate, challenge, and inspire people from all walks of life. We believe that art should be available to all in our community, without barriers.
Choose the tuition level that feels right for you:
Pay It Forward Price: $120 – I am able to contribute extra to help keep this program accessible.
Full Price: $95 – I can make the price work financially.
Discount Price: $68 – Paying full price would be a stretch for me financially.
For All Price: $42 – (limited availability): Paying the full tuition would be a significant financial hardship.
The goal is to make our workshops accessible to all, while maintaining sustainability of both the Arts for All Initiative and Schoodic Arts for All as a non-profit organization, as well as supporting our teaching artists by paying them fairly.

Festival Performance: Nate Sabat
Nate Sabat
With upright bass as his sole tool for accompaniment, Nate crafts wildly intricate arrangements, each one inextricably tied to its song. His playing, while rooted in American folk music, goes far beyond any preconceived notions of the instrument's role within the genre. With a relaxed, vocal sound and equal fluency with pizzicato and the bow, Nate takes full advantage of the never-ending variety of sounds and textures the bass has to offer. GRAMMY-winning cellist Eugene Friesen says, "Nate has so much going for him: The ability to propel any groove with chops and subtlety, a sweet bow sound that can vocalize any melody, fiercely great intonation, and, most importantly, a musical intelligence and intuition that operates with a constant smile.”
Tickets: $10 suggested donation. No one turned away for lack of funds.
Tickets available at the door 30 minutes prior to the the show.

Festival Performance: Tough End String Band
Tough End String Band
The Tough End String Band serves up a spicy-hot acoustic brew concocted in Orono’s historically notorious Tough End neighborhood.
This group has fun entertaining audiences with the diversity of its selections: a tango evolves into surf rock; some 1930’s jazz song might follow a traditional fiddle medley; or a bluegrass tune is juxtaposed with White Stripes Formed almost 10 years ago in the lively pub scene that has re-emerged in Orono’s Tough End (a century after the area was filled with musicians, mills, taverns, and brothels), the band has expanded its performances to festivals, fairs, receptions, and other venues. In addition, it has produced three studio-recorded albums – and, during the pandemic, two full-length, online-concert videos.
The current TESB members include Anthony Viselli on fiddle and mandolin, Sam Furth on Guitar, and Susan Elias on upright bass.
Tickets: $10 suggested donation. No one turned away for lack of funds.
Tickets available at the door 30 minutes prior to the the show.
